Psalms 54

1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi, Abazifu bwe bajja ne babuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi yeekwese mu ffe.” Olw’erinnya lyo ondokole, Ayi Katonda, n’amaanyi go amangi onzigyeko omusango.

2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

Wulira okusaba kwange, Ayi Katonda, owulirize ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange.

3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

Abantu be simanyi bannumba; abantu abalina ettima abatatya Katonda; bannoonya okunzita.

4 Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

Laba, Katonda ye mubeezi wange, Mukama ye mukuumi wange.

5 Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.

Leka ebintu ebibi byonna bye bantegekera, bibeekyusize, obazikirize olw’obwesigwa bwo.

6 I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,

Nnaakuleeteranga ssaddaaka ey’ekyeyagalire; ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ddungi.

7 For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!

Kubanga Katonda amponyezza ebizibu byange byonna; era amaaso gange galabye ng’awangula abalabe bange.
